Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 142 companies shows Marketplace Growth generates 22% of pipeline for EdTech companies at Growth. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.
EdTech companies at Growth should allocate 15-25% of growth budget to Marketplace Growth. Track weekly, evaluate monthly, pivot quarterly. The winning rhythm is 2-week sprints with clear hypotheses.
